Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16412876) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
232 Driving and Operating
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle is equipped with
an electric power steering
system, which reduces the
amount of effort needed to
steer the vehicle. It does not
have power steering fluid.
Regular maintenance is not
required.
If the vehicle experiences a
system malfunction and loses
power steering, greater
steering effort may be
required. Power steering
assist also may be reduced if
you turn the steering wheel as
far as it can turn and hold it
there with force for an
extended period of time.
See your dealer if there is a
problem.
Curve Tips
.
Take curves at a reasonable
speed.
.
Reduce speed before
entering a curve.
.
Maintain a reasonable
steady speed through the
curve.
.
Wait until the vehicle is out
of the curve before
accelerating gently into the
straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
.
There are some situations
when steering around a
problem may be more
effective than braking.
.
Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to
turn 180 degrees without
removing a hand.
.
The Antilock Brake System
(ABS) allows steering while
braking.
Off-Road Recovery
The vehicle's right wheels can
drop off the edge of a road
onto the shoulder while
driving. Follow these tips:
1. Ease off the accelerator
and then, if there is
nothing in the way, steer
the vehicle so that it
straddles the edge of the
pavement.
